Betsy Chase makes a second affidavit stating the reason of her remembering that her brother was out - to wit - that she had to do the work of a boy on the farm while Edward was in the army and also that he was fife & sergeant - then, together with the testimony of Benjamin Hunt & Hubbard Stuart, (both Elders in the Congregational Church) I trust will identify with Field, the eight months

In the case of Elizabeth Kimball, formerly widow of Edward Fife. I have forwarded the affidavits of Simon Benf. Huntston, Simon Hubbard Stevens & Betty Chase sworn to before a character associated by Jacob A. Fitch Justice of the Peace (and a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Merrimack County N.H.) also The affidavits of Richard French & Theophilus Laurens sworn to by John E. Hemen & John Brown Justices of the Peace for Rocking- ham County N.H. I believe the foregoing are all the affidavits taken by myself as per order & previously forwarded in Mrs Kimball's case -
I must ask your particular attention in this case to forward the certificate as soon as possi- ble for the reason that Mrs Kimball by a fall has so injured her hip & back as to be totally un- able to go one step and now hopes are entertained that she will never walk again still again with- out help - she of course is at great expense & has but little property & is in need of much preparation for a cold winter.
Respectfully. Your obedt servt.

P.S. As far as my memory serves me the present Testimony is substantially like that taken by myself & previously forwarded. - Many agents are in the practice of taking a fourfold testimony which I had not done until informed by them of the fact. I think the rule mentioned in memo of the 20th ult a good one strictly adhered to in all cases -
